It was also thought that the god existed within the structure. Obelisks played a vital role in their religion and were prominent in the architecture of the ancient Egyptian, who placed them pairs at the entrance of the temples . The word “Obelisk “ as used in English today is of Greek rather than Egyptian origin because Herodotus, the Greek traveller, was one of the first classical writers to describe the objects. A number of Ancient Egyptian obelisks are known to have survived, plus the “unfinished Obelisk “ found partly hewn from its quarry at Aswan. These obelisks are now dispersed around the world, and fewer than half of them remain in Egypt. The earliest temple obelisk still in its original position is the 68-foot (20.7 m) 120- metric- ton (130-short-ton) red granite Obelisk of Senusret I of the XIIth Dynasty at Al- Matariyyah in modern Heliopolis.
